I have just signed up to a service that switches you to the best energy supplier every year and it's a free service!
They switch you at the end of your contract so there is no switching fee!

​If you are interested click here

​Hope this helps!

Update: I have just been switched to my new energy provider, the daily energy charge is half my old supplier and the energy per unit is less!
So yes I would recommend the service :-)

Davis Cup reform: Nations vote for 18-team season-ending event

17/8/2018

16 August 2018 : The day the International Tennis Federation (ITF) killed off the Davis Cup!
The Davis Cup, which was founded in 1900, has been played in the current format since 1981.
​
The reformed event would see matches played over the best of three sets, culminating in a World Cup-style tournament to determine the world champions.
Twenty-four teams would compete in home and away ties in February, with 12 winning teams advancing to the finals in November.
The four semi-finalists from the previous year's tournament, plus two wildcards, would complete the 18 teams.
The finals - to be staged in Madrid or Lille from 18 to 24 November - would be a round-robin format before a knockout phase, with matches consisting of two singles and one doubles rubber.

Say's it all really!​

Question: Should I get a racket bought in a shop restrung before I play with it?

Good question!
Ask your supplier how "old" the racket is (when was it manufactured ) Where did it come from (Asia, China?)
how long was it on the ship for?
You get the idea, you have no knowledge of when this racket was strung.
My best advise buy the frame and take it to a professional stringer you trust.
That way you know when it was strung, what string was used and what tension it was.
or take the racket to a professional stringer and ask them to test the tension for you.
(oh by the way if the stringer says they can't test a strung racket RUN AWAY!)

Hope this helps!

    Hi I'm Dave Giles, This is my Blog page, please feel free to leave a comment, I will of course review any comment before it is published.
    I have been involved with racket sports for over 40 yrs. I am a string tester for  various companies. I play mostly tennis nowadays but have been tempted back to squash coaching.
